Nigerian singer, Abiola Ahmed Akinbiyi, also known as Bella Shmurda, has said he understands his mum for cautioning him against returning to Nigeria.
According to the artiste, his mother told him not to return to Nigeria yet following the death of his close friend and fellow artist, Promise IleriOluwa Aloba, a.k.a Mohbad.
During a candlelight procession in honour of late Mohbad in Canada on Saturday, September 23, 2023, Bella opened up on the advice from his mum.
Recall that Mohbad, formally of the Malian record, died on Tuesday, September 12, 2023.
His death has since become a subject of controversy following the circumstances surrounding it.
“This person is my brother, he’s my guy, he’s my best friend. It’s so sad that when I left Nigeria, like two or three days after, I got a call that Mohbad was dead, it was so funny.
“Even my mum had to call me, ‘Bella don’t come home yet, stay put there’. I understand what she’s saying. RIP Mohbad, God bless you wherever you are, even in your grave. I don’t know what to say, just thank you everybody for coming and #JusticeForMohbad,” Bella Shmurda told the gathering.
